Cultural Awareness by Pronouncing Names Correctly #mynamemyid

I cam across this website where you can take a pledge to say other people’s names correctly. As someone with a difficult name it is surprising how many people I correct and they stil pronounce it incorrectly. I could not imagine my first name being hard to pronounce. Take the time to do this. Get your school or community involved.

Did you know that pronouncing students’ names correctly is a signal that their names and identities are honored? This can foster a sense of belonging and build positive relationships in the classroom, which are crucial for healthy social, psychological, and educational outcomes. Help us build a culture of respect in our school communities.
